This book is a rare gathering of an elite group of leaders and experts who have broken new ground in the field of Islamic finance. These individuals are not mere experts – visionaries and pioneers like Haj Saeed Lootah, His Royal Highness Prince Mohamed Al Faisal Al Saud and Sheikh Saleh Abdullah Kamel were the trailblazers and true pioneers who established the world’s first Islamic banks. They are joined in the book by others who have shaped the rise and development of the global Islamic finance industry.

Banking pioneers, Shari'ah scholars, academics, government officials, and others, who have all worked closely these last four decades to mould the young Islamic Finance industry into its current shape -- a global industry enjoying double-digit growth, and still discovering room for more. The book gives rare insight into each pioneer’s and expert's perspectives on the development, rise, and future trajectories of the Islamic Finance industry, within and without their own fields of specialisation. Most significantly, the interviews throw up candid opinions and perspectives on the issues affecting Islamic finance.
